1Introduction
ArduCAM team now announces to release a new CC3200 UNO board which is
full featured development board almost like a combination of CC3200 Launchpad
plus CC3200CAMBOOST pack from TI while keeping exactly the same size as
Arduino UNO and pin out.
It is based on TI simplelink series CC3200 chip, which gives you an ARM Cortex
M4 processor with a built-in WiFi stack and radio. It supports things like web servers
and SSL out of the box. It can be mated with existing thousand kinds of Arduino
shields without effort. It makes writing firmware for these devices easier, since a lot
of the work is already done. The collection of libraries aids in getting prototypes
running quickly. You can even debug Energia sketches using TI’s fully featured IDE.
In addition to standard Arduino pin out and Arduino development environment, it
also has additional ArduCAM standard camera interface, user can use TI Code
Composer Studio (CCS) to develop and debug camera based application.
ArduCAM CC3200 UNO has build in SWD and JTAG debug circuit, you do not
need additional debugger tools to do the debugging. It supports TI CCS and Uniflash
seamlessly. If you’re looking to connect things to the internet, with the goal of
building some sort of “Internet of Things,” this new ArduCAM CC3200 UNO board
is your right option.

4Getting Started CC3200 with Energia
This chapter shows you how to develop an application for ArduCAM UNO
CC3200 board using Energia, an open-sourced version of the Arduino IDE for Texas
Instruments MCU.
Please note that the jumpers marked in red box should be closed when using
Energia to upload your sketches. They are Serial port TX/RX signals from the FTDI
usb-serial controller.

4.1 Out of the Box Test
Power on the ArduCAM UNO CC3200 board by using a micro USB cable and
connect it to a host PC or an USB power source/battery. Both the on-board power
indicator LED (ON) and the I/O indicator - LED (L) should be on.
From your PC or smart phone, go to the WiFi setting page. You should see an
Access Point (AP) which the SSID name "ArduCAM UNO CC3200" on the AP scan
result list. Choose the "ArduCAM UNO CC3200" AP to connect to it. This AP's
password is “00000000”.

Figure 3 WIFI connections from Windows
Open a web browser (e.g. IE/Safari/Chrome) on your PC or smart phone. Type
the AP's IP address, which is "192.168.1.1", into the web browser address bar and go.
It will show the welcome message "ArduCAM UNO CC3200 WiFi Test" and two
buttons to allow you to turn on or off the on-board yellow I/O indicator - LED (L).

Press the "ON" or "OFF" button on the web page and see the state of the on-board
IO indicator - LED (L) to verify your board is fully functional.
4.2 Using Energia
We have provided an add-on package to fully support the ArduCAM UNO
CC3200 board. You can just compile the existing examples directly or develop you
own application using the APIs provied by Energia.
1) Download Energia_official and install it on your PC. If you are using our
modified software Energia ArduCAM,you can skip to step 3.
2) Download the add-on package for Energia to support ArduCAM UNO
CC3200 and unzip it.
3) For Windows users, please download and install the USB Interface device
driver from FTDI_Driver.
4) Navigate to "Energia installing path/hardware/CC3200", there is a folder
named "variants" a file named "boards.txt". Merge the "variants" folder with

the unzip "variants" folder and replace the "boards.txt" with the unzip
"boards.txt". It makes no effects on the previous configuration of Energia.
5) Open the Energia IDE. Click on the "File > Examples > 1.Basics > Blink" to
open the blink sketch.
6) Click on the "Tools > Board" on the menu bar. The ArduCAM UNO CC3200
board has been added to the IDE. Select the board you are using.
7) Click on the "Tools > Serial Port" to choose the serial port for your WiFi
board.

8) Click on the right arrow button on the tool bar to compile and upload the
shetch to your WiFi board.
9) After uploading the sketch, push the on-board reset button to run. You will
see the on-board I/O indicator - LED (L) toggling in every second interval.
